The sockets used for tv=local are kept in /tmp.  Your abrupt shutdown 
left those pseudo-files sitting there so a new aips tv=local got you new 
socket numbers.  Do a HELP AIPS inside aips or a man aips outside of 
look at CookBook chapter 2 - the tv= command has other bits of grammar. 
  You could say tv=local:1 and it would use the pre-existing (or create 
new if needed) #1 sockets.  This lets you have 2 aips sessions with one 
local TV among other things.

You can do an rm on the files in /tmp if they are causing a problem. 
They may not work on a reboot.
